Great swim lessons.

I like the Pilates and body rolling classes.
I love the basketball programs for the youth. It is such a positive environment and my son loves it each year. He has a hard time in certain social situations and loves playing for the YMCA each year.
Wide variety of classes and programs, helpful staff, excellent facilities, and inclusive environment.
Instructors are well-trained and very positive. Weight room trainers are skilled and will provide helpful information when needed. The facility generally feels welcoming and accepting of every age and background.
Friendly receptionist! Great classes plenty of treadmills and exercise equipment. Kind and helpful staff.
I wonder how well the kids club is sanitized on a daily or weekly basis. My child sometimes gets sick after going there. But, that happens around kids anyway. Never actually seen anyone cleaning. ?
It would be great if the kids could use the hot tub, too, after swimming. I know they would enjoy it! 😊

Palo Alto YMCA is amazing for benefiting the community and teenagers.
Like that some Y classes are free for members; also like the availability of community programs, such as Stanford's Balance class and Be Strong, Be Well.
I think the YMCA has a great facility and programs. I do swim aerobics. I don't like all the teachers so I try to pick the days of the teachers I like. I would use the equipment but I need someone to set me up on the machines. I have asked several times but never seem to get an appointment.
I like the diversity of the programs, the offering all day long including week-ends, the spirit of the people at the Palo Alto YMCA.
The facility is roomy and beautiful, the staff are highly personable, and the equipment is great.
